Description

Montreal isn’t going no where with mediocrity, they have good player, but none of them are elite. They need to start from scratch, keeping only key young players.
1. Trade Shea Weber to any team for a small price. Take cap room back and some pick. Give Gallagher the C.
2. Draft in 2021 at pick 18 Sasha Pastujov. Pastujov is a pure offensive player playing with the USNTP. He’s currently leading the team in pts.
3. Trade Toffoli. I know we just signed him, but a 28yo with this contract could fetch us a pretty big return. We want prospect and picks
4. Trade older players for picks
5- The fourth line is fast gritty and young. They gain experience after playing a good season together at laval

all you did was trade weber and plugged in a few players who arent nhl ready thus making the team worse. great job.

I actually like this, I think... Thats a big price to pay for SEA to take on Price tho. Plus, Price would ave to waive in order to be exposed... Not likely but possible depending on the rest of the season. If the team keeps on losing and miss the playoffs, then Im sure theres a chance that Price would rather be close to home.

I disagree with you. Montreal is a middle of the pack team in the league, and they have a whole bunch of picks in this upcoming draft. Caufield looks great in the AHL, Allen will probably get claimed by Seattle so they'll need a backup, and they still need that elite number one centre. They're a few pieces away from being a serious contender. Check out my team https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2353667

the blues definitely wont swap Scandella for weber, they don't have near the cap space to do that
